UNC Quarterback Drake Maye Makes a Statement
New England Patriots Select Maye
Former University of North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye has solidified his place as one of the top college quarterbacks in the country. The Patriots selected Maye with the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Maye's Stellar Season
In 2023, Maye led the Tar Heels to a 9-4 record, including a victory over No. 21 Appalachian State. Despite not throwing a touchdown in that game, Maye's overall performance throughout the season was impressive.
Maye finished the season with 4,115 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions. He also rushed for 628 yards and 10 touchdowns. His dual-threat ability and leadership skills make him a valuable asset to any team.
Patriots' Expectations
The Patriots, who have been searching for a long-term solution at quarterback, are excited about Maye's potential. The team's offense is led by second-year receiver Tyquan Thornton and tight end Hunter Henry, who will provide Maye with reliable targets.
Maye's arrival in New England marks a new chapter for both the player and the franchise. With his talent, determination, and winning mindset, Maye has the potential to become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
